The Call to Worship

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven, let Your name remain holy.
Bring about Your kingdom.
Manifest Your will here on earth, as it is manifest in heaven.
Give us each day that day’s bread—no more, no less—
And forgive us our debts as we forgive those who owe us something.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Tonight’s Conversation

The Call to Courage | Brené Brown

Formational Learning

Rules of the Table

1. It’s Christ’s table, and we are all guests, a good guest makes sure everyone present can stay at the table.

2. This is a place to process together. Questions of curiosity and process are encouraged, not questions to force agreement or coerce a specific answer.

3. Keep answers to 1-2 minutes so everyone has room to share.

4. The facilitator will interject when the conversation moves too far away from our explicit topic. All questions are good but they are not all useful for this specific time.

Brave Space Ideals for the Conversation

1. Controversy with civility

2. Own your intentions and your impact

3. Challenge by choice (allow ourselves to be challenged by what others share)

4. Respect

5. No Attacks

(Opening Question) 

What stood out to you from Brené Brown’s talk? What is one point of curiosity or a question that emerged as we watched The Call to Courage?

Examen

Become aware of God’s presence. Review the day with gratitude. Pay attention to your emotions. Choose one feature of the day and pray from it. Look toward tomorrow.

• For what moment today am I most grateful?

• For what moment today am I least grateful?

• How can I create space for gratitude in my daily life?

Announcements 

• We have a Slow-Cooker Spirituality group that meets online at 9:30am PST every Thursday. This coming week’s reading will be Psalm 100.

• Using the Head, Heart, Hands questions, spend some time reflecting on the passage and writing down what emerges for you.
  
  (Head) What do I think about what I read?
  
  (Heart) What do I feel as I am reflecting?
  
  (Hands) What do I do to respond?

• Based on our poll in the Facebook Messenger chat, Monday, October 17, 2022 at 7pm will be the next Townhall meeting. We will use the same Zoom link as our Sunday Liturgy.

• One of the ways we invest in the future of FōS is through tithes and offering, generous giving. You can give online at www.fos.church/partner. Make sure to follow the instructions.

Our Benediction

May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you: wherever they may send you;

may Christ guide you through the wilderness: protect you through the storm;

may Christ bring you home rejoicing: at the wonders they have shown you;

may Christ bring you home rejoicing: once again into our doors.*
